What's the deal with Safety Checks? What do they check if I want to go out on the track?

For vehicles wanting to go out on the track, we have a basic Safety check that needs to be done. This is to ensure your vehicle is up to standard and not a danger to youreslf and anyone else. If your car has a wof and reg up to scratch, you're generally good to go. If you have a competition car with no wof or reg, we will check through, making sure seats and seatbelts/harness/battery is secure, your brake lights work, legal tyre tread, leaks and it's important that you have a tow hook. Your safety gear will also get a quick check over.For a full Safety Check list, check out the Competitor Info Page.

Safety is our number one priority at all of our events. All our events are strictly alcohol free and cars will be searched upon entering the venue. Any found will be thrown away. Random breath tests may take place at the events during track time, and any driver with a blood alcohol reading of over 0.00 may have their Driver Pass removed.

Can I leave the venue and come back?

While 4 & Rotary events operate on a strict no passouts rule, there are a couple exceptions.

Drivers wristbands will allow you to leave the venue and come back if you need fuel etc. You can only leave midday however as it's one way traffic into the venue (except in an emergency) during the morning. This is for drivers with a valid wristband only. Please make sure your passengers stay inside the event or they may need to pay again to get in.

Other then that, there are no passouts for passengers and spectators.

My photo won't load to the entry form? Or my photo isn't up on the confirmed gallery on facebook?

If you're photo isn't uploading to our entry form, please make sure it's within the 2MB size limit and in the accepted format (jpg/jpeg/png/gif/pdf). If you're still having trouble, try submitting your entry on a computer (if you were trying via mobile). We recommend using Firefox or Google Chrome.

If you're waiting for your photo to be uploaded in our confirmed gallery on facebook, there's a few things you can do.1- Check your confirmed entry email. If you scroll down to your competitor details at the bottom, you will see a link to your Car Image. If there's no link, no photo was submitted with your entry. Private message your photo through to our Facebook Page and we can post it up.2- If there's a photo there but still hasn't been posted it may be waiting to post up. Generally photos are uploaded in batches of up to 20. During peak entry times, there may be delays in the uploads.3- Lastly, if your photo is way too small, pixelated, wrong dimensions etc we won't post it. We also won't post it if it's not of your car (e.g. a photo of just your numberplates or piece of your car). We recommend sending in photos that are landscape, and not zoomed in too much so there's space for us to crop it. Please save photos to your phone, not screen shot off facebook/snapchat as these generally fall into the too small/pixelated category.
